STORIES

MY STORY – LUCY HACKNEY

I was on the Level 2 course last week in Bookham. I had been half dreading it as I knew I was feeling overwhelmed. I felt like a helium balloon floating up in a sympathetic state of chaos with no idea how to get back down to the ground.

Obviously Douglas spotted this immediately. It is quite scary, and makes you feel very vulnerable knowing that someone has a measure of you after only knowing you very briefly, even if they are a Jedi. Luckily I think Douglas also gets this, and knew he had to be gentle with me.

Anyway after the first day I felt amazing; taller, stronger, I had more clarity of vision…Generally amazing. My journey home that night took an hour, but it felt like ten minutes.

After day two of the course and on my way home to Spain, I was trying the breathing I had learned, and I couldn’t take a deep breath with out crying. What a huge amount of tension and stress a body can hold! I literally cried for about 4 hours with every deep breath. In the car, in the elevator, on the escalator, on the plane and then the bus – every form of transportation available to me.

But then on Saturday I felt calm again, like I was back in control. Everything was good. At that time I thought I would never feel stressed again, but I have now realised that this is impossible. The key is how much it affects you after, and if you can calm down afterwards.

I have been telling everyone about breathing ever since, evangelising almost. It was like Doug designed the whole course entirely for me!

It is amazing to go on an ostensibly physiotherapy course and discover its really about response to stress, and that I now have the tools to help manage and understand it.

Anyway, I can’t say what a huge impact this course has had on me and will continue to have on me. Immense.

FEEDBACK

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the awe-inspiring course you provided. I have been on other courses that open your eyes... However your course was a level above... I can't wait to carry on practicing and see how many more feet I can change, lol!
Can't wait for level 2!

“Doug’s course will be your ‘light bulb’ moment!”

"If you have been doing the same old thing for years with varying degrees of success & have often sat down and thought 'I am sure there is something else I could have done, what have I missed?' Then Doug's course will be your 'light bulb' moment!"

The Be Activated course has made a great impact on how I am able to help my clients train and perform better.

This course has been a tremendous help in assisting my athletes with mobility and flexibility issues. The results are immediate and their endurance is noticeably better. This is by far one of the best educations I have received. I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Doug works purely from the heart. A rare gift!

"Doug's absolute passion shines through when talking, and he is very intuitive when working with people's bodies. He doesn’t allow intellect to get in the way of his work, which means he can see what's actually in front of him, and he's very compassionate."

Doug seems part Tony Robbins and part Eckhart Tolle. He presents without notes or a power point, but he can effectively teach for 20 hours. I usually bore quickly and check my watch often. With Douglas Heel, I didn’t want to miss a word.

Once you take a Douglas workshop, it stays with you for life, and every aspect in your life changes, whether you know it or not.

The first time you take a Be Activated workshop everything you knew falls apart, but you know what you just heard makes sense, and you can’t continue the old ways anymore... What I am trying to say is that once you take a Douglas workshop, it stays with you for life, and every aspect in your life changes, whether you know it or not... You get to know yourself a lot better too.
